Pray for Mosul’s Christians Fleeing in Terror

“Please pray for our Christian brothers and sisters who are fleeing Mosul (Iraq) in terror because of the ISIS militants’ self-imposed Sharia law against them. Ask the Lord to move churches worldwide to provide for their needs, especially that of the children.” – Pastor Glem Melo

People who fled from the violence in Mosul walk inside the Khazer refugee camp on the outskirts of the Kurdish city of Arbil. Hundreds of Christian families abandoned homes in Mosul to jihadist gunmen as they fled an ultimatum threatening their community’s centuries-old presence in the northern Iraqi city. Reuters

“Terrified Christians flee Iraq after having their doors marked by ISIS.”
